IS ENCOURAGED

Prof. McLaughlin Takes Trip
; Over State; Front Yards in
: Potatoes and 'Everybody
Worfflng.
.. 'York, Neb.. Jue 22.-Spccia!.)-Fresident
M. O. McLaughlin of York
college made a trip through McCook
and other counties in the state, mak
ing a special effort to study crop con
ditions. Ke writes as follows:
- "The ' small grain will probably
make a half crop, with some counties
going a little better. The first cutting
of alfalfa is nearly all in the stack,
and the corn never looked better at
this time of the year. The farmers
have planted a large acreage of po
tatoes and the people in towns and
villages have nearly every available
lot in gardens. I saw several front
pleasing sight to the eyes this year
tharf" a flower garden.
"While the present hot wave is in
juring our crop prospects consider
ably, yet the outlook for a reasonably
rich harvest is still bright, and I am
convinced that if the kaiser could see
the great army of men and women in
the agricultural section of America
working early and late, in -an en
deavor to feed the world, not only
his other arm, but his whole body
would become withered. With our
patriotic liberty-loving men at the
front carrying the one flag of all the
earth that has never known defeat,
and with an army of food producers
t home bending their Backs to the
task; a decisive permanent victory to.
ourselves and our allies is only a
question of time.
Tradesmen Aid.
i " "For several years the members
of the York County Commercial club
have gone out atternoons ana eve
nings during harvest to help farmers
shock their grain. I understand the
Commercial club and the home guards
are already organized for this work
this season. The harvest is almost
here, and I suggest that in every town
and village in the state business men
organize themselves to shock the
grain in their communities.
"In spite of the thousands ji boys
that have left the farm for the army
those who have remained at home
have produced one of the largest
crops in all history. It would be a
rrimm nn mir nart as business men
to allow a grain of wheat to go to
waste. Organizations of business
men and home guards in every com
munity to help harvest the grain will
serve four distinct purposes. First,
it-will save the grain at this time
when all the world is depending on
us; second, by furnishing volunteer
labor to the farmer, it will reduce his
expense of production and partly
make opfor the financial loss he
woald otherwise sustain by the crop
shortage; third, it will add red blood
-and health to the business men who
thus get a taste of the blessing of
physical labor; and fourth, it will con
tribute to the better acquaintance and
understanding of the farmers and
business men and enable them to see
that they are not in competition but
thttiheir mutual interests and wel
fare lie in the field of closest co-op-tration.
"Above all things else let us save
the grain crop of the state. If indus
try makes life worth living why not
make industry worth while."

Your good money will not buy good dentistry1 if you
tret into the wronc dental office.
"Paying the price" of first-clas dentistry, does not
imply you are going to get it in fact, in scores of cases
that have come under my observation, it implied just the
opposite. -
In my many years' experience as a practicing dentist,
and as Manager of large dental offices, I havje ahvy?
endeavored (AND SUCCEEDED), to impress my patients
with the fact that I am a FIRST-CLASS DENTIST, be
fore PRICES are ever discussed. '
Pricecomparisons are odious, yet I challenge the pro
fession to' turn out better work at ANY PRICE ttfan 1
turn out every, day at my modest prices.
Patients are either satisfied or dissatisfied either
way they spread the news. That explains why my of.
fices are today busier than' ever, and patronized by dis
criminating people, many of whom could and Would PAY
MORE if they could SECURE MORE elsewhere.

In these days of conservation
of time and work old ways must
give way to new ways.
It is a positive waste to put up with the old,
time consuming, -back breaking metnods of dusting,
cleaning and polishing woodwork and floors. It is
a waste of money, too.
There is an easier way. A quicker way. And a
better and far more economical way. The saving you
make in brooms alone will pay for the cost of the
new way.
Study the contrasts shown in the pictures above
They tell the story. Banish the old way. Adopt the new
QteM
brings the new way the quick the easy the better
the economical the pleasant way of dusting, clean
ing and polishing all woodwork and floors in your
home. It does all these things at one time. It makes
it easy to clean those hard-to-get-at places. It gives
floors a high, lasting polish as you dust them.
- ' Try the O-Cedar Polish Mop ( Battleship Model)
at our risk. Simply deposit the price with your dealer.
He will deliver the, mop to you. Test it for three
days, if at the end of that time, you are not delighted
with the work it does and the work it saves, your
money will be returned without a question.
